I was the one asking about Benjamin KILGORE, my GGGG-g'father. He fought in the ARW and was a captain. Dr. Benjamin Franklin KILGORE was the grandson of Benjamin KILGORE.

A letter dated July 7, 1926 in answer to mine from Rev John Benjamin Kilgore box 42 Taylors S.C. see book 16 p 366 who appreciates my interest in the family record & says he can get additional dates for me of the later generations. He says Col Benj Kilgore as shown by six closely typed 14 x 8 3/4 inch pages which he enclosed was his gggfather. His father, the oldest ancestor we have a record of was Wm (In this he is mistaken as the father of Col Benj was James, the son of James). He wants me to settle a discrepancy, one record saying Wm? came from Ireland & another says their ancestors came through Penna (James Kilgore was a ruling elder in the Pres Ch at Donagheady, County Down, Ireland in 1707. The descendants here in Pa have no connected line back of him but know that his forebears in Scotland were located at St Andrews Fife & at Falkland for centuries. John, son of this James with his three sons James, Charles & Samuel emigrated to America abt 1730 & settled in Chester Co, Pa. Here he died Mch 7, 1731. About 1737, these sons went to the Cumberland Valley & James located in Newton Tp near Newville, Pa. This is where his wife Elizabeth Jack's people were located) He says "three brothers of a large family came south, one of whom settled in Greenville Co S.C. & he was our ancestor" (This looks like two of Col Benjamin's brothers went somewhere south. Write & see if he knows where) He says there is a book of the Waters family that gives some of the Kilgores. Thinks he could get me one. Also has pictures of the old graveyard & old home on land granted to the family by King George & still owned by descendants. This land is near the Enoree River, now known as the Higgins Place in Greenville Co, S.C. He says Col Benj Kilgore's second wife was a McDavid & had children as follows: David, Samuel, William, Betsy & Isabella He says the dates of James Kilgore, son of Col Benj by his first wife Anna McCreary born 1765 died 1813, are taken from his tombstone in the old family graveyard at the old home place in Greenville Co S.C. The record he has is much the same as I had before but I will check it over & if it enlarges on the former record, will make note of it. In the last two pages of the record is their maternal or Summers-Waters line & in which it shows: Col John Summers married Rosannah Waters He says Col Benjamin Kilgore married a second wife & had a large family & with his second wife & their children, he moved west to the section which included parts of Texas & Ala. This is same paper from which the records in book 167 p 342-377 were made & which I am filing as he said he has others like it, if I wanted it.

Dear Lois, I have been out of town for a week and just read your message about Jack's passing. I am truly saddened. I had just gotten to "know" him via private e-mails. We shared some wonderful childhood memories. I remember an especially wonderful story about your mother, too. I shall miss your Jack very, very much.

I enjoy the chatting and have found myself greatly moved by prayer requests, especially when someone suggests we all remember to pray at a given time on a given day. I will probably never meet any of the people involved but there is something about a concerted spiritual effort that "gets" to me. Also I have privately e-mailed several listers and chatted about subjects of mutual interest. I like that, too. It widens my horizons and gives me new friends.

I have some interest in the question of whether Benjamin Kilgore of SC is the same person as Benjamin Kilgore of KY. While I do not want to get involved because I am no great authority, I will say Benjamin of KY gave his children names from a list of siblings and parents of Benjamin Kilgore of SC and PA. In other words, In Cumberland Co PA James Kilgore, father of Benjamin Kilgore named his chilren: Hugh, Benjamin, Joseph, Patrick, David, Mary, Oliver, Ezekiel, John, Jonathan, William, Jesse, and Robert. Benjamin of KY had James, John, Jonathan, William, David, Hugh, Samuel (a brother of James of Cumberland Co) Jane, Elizabeth (wife of James of Cumberland Co) Isabel, Mary, and Benjamin. You will note that James of Cumberland Co had but one daughter, Mary. Outside of Isabel and Jane, I think the names coincide. Whether this is significant is something for others to judge. Good luck in the search.

I have a question about the name Oliver in the list. Does anyone know who his dependence were? I have an Oliver in my line. he comes from my Ralph b. S.C. 1790,, Ralph named his children : James, Mitchell, Charles, Thomas, and Wiley. James named his one of his son's Wiley who named one of his sons Oliver. I have been looking for any connection to the parents of my Ralph for some time now, with no luck. I just have this feeling there has to be something of a family relationship with the S.C. Kilgore's but can not seem to find it.
